IL-21 (Interleukin-21) is member of the family of cytokines that utilize the common gamma chain as a receptor subunit. This subunit is also a component of the receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15. IL-21 is produced by activated T follicular helper cells (Tfh), Th17 cells, and NKT cells. It exerts its biological effects through a heterodimeric receptor complex of the common gamma chain and the IL-21-specific IL-21 R. IL-21 supports Tfh cell development, immunoglobulin affinity maturation, plasma cell differentiation, B cell memory responses, and the migration of dendritic cells to draining lymph nodes. It costimulates the activation, proliferation, and survival of CD8+ T cells and NKT cells and promotes Th17 cell polarization. It blocks the generation of regulatory T cells and their suppressive effects on CD4+ T cells. In addition, IL-21 suppresses cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions by limiting allergen-specific IgE production and mast cell degranulation.

Product Specifications
Description
The kit contains a capture antibody, detection antibody, and recombinant protein standard for assay development, and these antibodies have been validated to function together in an ELISA format using the provided standard. While the kit is optimized for cell culture supernatants, minor modifications to the protocol may be required when measuring in other sample types to ensure optimal sensitivity and accuracy. Optimal buffers, antibody concentrations, incubation times, temperatures, and assay conditions have not been predetermined, allowing researchers to further adjust assay parameters based on their specific sample type and experimental requirements. The quantities of kit components are not matched, and individual components may be purchased separately. This product is for research use only.
